  1. Sure. Logging into your account requires entering username and password (unless you save password in browser). From what I remember, often it requires code from text message too. The website I shared does not need signing in. It's good for quick status check. Once you know something changed, you can log in to myUSCIS and check documents tab etc.
  2. I guess, not just filled, but also filed. Filling is just about writing answers on form, filing is act of submitting this form. Don't travel until you get GC. AP is meant to be used for emergency travel. What if your I-485 gets denied while you're out of country? Technically, AP and EAD would get invalid too if this happens.
  3. Yes, you should get email about update to your case. But what if email goes to Junk or not delivered? You can also download a tracker app, there's many available. You just put your case number (don't login) and it will alert when there is update. If you check your case by logging in to myUSCIS - it's counterproductive. Here is website that works without login https://egov.uscis.gov/ All you need is case number (which you can store on your phone in notes). This website is often up when myUSCIS is down or undergoing maintenance
  4. Can even leave blank and have IO make a determination during interview. E.g disclose facts and let them pick yes or no. Either way it's forgiven.
  5. I am not aware of such requirement. I-130 doesn't ask to list petitioner's citizenships. Beneficiary, yes, had to list all citizenships on various forms.
  6. Another point is, until derived citizen gets their certificate of citizenship, they are not recorded as citizens in USCIS database. They are recorded as LPRs.
  7. N-600 is typically not needed for getting first passport, but very important for the future. One day the derived citizen can be asked to provide their parent's naturalization certificate, parent's job records, their own school records, bills, bank statements and other documentation proving they were under 18 when parent became a citizen and that's how derived citizen became a citizen. It may be easy now, but imagine 40 years later. Here's good thread discussing why: So it's not like only fools pay $1300 for useless paper. It's super valuable. Also, until derived citizen gets their certificate of citizenship, they are not recorded as citizens in USCIS database. They are recorded as LPRs.
  8. No, for most derived citizen applicants, N-600 is not needed to get first passport. However, it's a very important document that can instantly prove how they became a citizen, instead of having to provide tons of evidence. Here's detailed thread, I don't want to repeat myself:
  9. Recently everybody's status "Case is being actively reviewed" got renamed to "Case is still being processed by USCIS". I don't believe anything changed fundamentally or was caused because there was some sort of movement in case.
  10. Sorry I meant approval notice for I-130. Yes, it can expire, but you can keep the case alive by contacting NVC. With I-129F, one has less control.
  11. All of that documented in the thread where I posted my SSA experience
  12. The danger with Nexus is being admitted as a visitor. Make sure to speak to CBP officer and ask them to check your K-1 visa. I wouldn't ask to be sent to secondary per say, just make sure you mention you have K-1
  13. Maybe mention it to officer when they ask about your current address, which they will. You'd have to find the right words to say if you decide to inform them at that point. This is not a legal advice.
  14. If you sleep at the new address starting 1st, then yes, you can update on 1st. But again, as I mentioned, you won't have much paperwork from that place for the interview. Good luck and keep us posted!
  15. Don't update address until you move. This would be wrong. On the other hand, if you actually sleep in the new place and all you have is some furniture or things at the old place, then you can update it today. Downside of doing it prior to interview is address on your IDs won't match the new place. Also you may get additional questions about it. I was moving around the time I-751 got approved and GC produced. Nothing worked... Neither USPS hold mail, nor USPS Mail Forwarding, forget about USPS mail intercept. Not even talking to mail people at USPS location prior to this. GC got delivered to old address as I was loading the truck on the day of move. I was super lucky. My advice is to talk to building management etc so you can access mail at the old place or they keep letter if it comes there.
  16. Yes, I let them scan my ID. They used it to fill my name and address (I saw the screen populating after sales person scanned it). I wasn't ready / had desire to fight over this and this was the third store I went to return the item because the other two rejected the item for other reasons than ID. If I had all the time in the world and nothing to do, I bet I would argue more with them. Just wasn't the day.
  17. This is tricky. GC can be sent to old address despite you changing address.
  18. If you don't mind asking, @Bassisto, why are you still married after so many years of separation? Do you realize you may be liable for any debts your spouse is accumulating etc?
  19. Right, language schools on F-1 for 38 years would be rather unusual... I don't think OP has path to stay unless he has adult kids (21+ y.o) who can sponsor.
  20. If you have records of all trips, have enough days in the US and strong ties to the US, you'll be just fine.
